In the original video, driver Takeshi Kimura dons his winter gear before heading to “Snow Camp” at Japan’s Ryuoo Ski Park in a Ferrari F40. That winter gear includes a custom set of snow chains for the rear-drive sports car. A dead battery due to the sub-freezing temperatures is the first of many setbacks for the film crew. Shortly after jumpstarting the F40, the front struts give out, effectively turning the Ferrari into an expensive snowplow. Other mechanical issues included the loss of the transmission’s reverse gear.

Despite the extreme cold temperatures, Kimura chose to remove his gloves for a better feel while drifting the F40 through the snowy mountain roads. In addition to the mechanical problems, the tire chains scratched the red paint of the carbon-fiber-bodied exotic. The car even found its way off course and got stuck in the snow.
